James here....
As many mental disorders are perm. conditions it is unrealistic to expect to stop taking meds. I was born with ADD and will die with it but I have never thought of it as a negative. I don't really
consider the depression a plus but I live with it.
neurobiology is very very complex and we are just
beginning to understand it so cures are really in the picture while we don't fully understand why things happen. Some depressives, after a course of an AD, do have total remmision.Personally I like my meds...they work and when they don't I have been able to find others that work. The meds allow me to enjoy the positives of ADD.
